KVoice 0.1.3

KVoice 0.1.3

• New app icon and menu-bar icon.
• On a Mac with macOS 26 or later, a new setup now starts with Apple Speech
  when it supports your language: it is ready in seconds, with nothing large
  to download. Whisper is one click away in the setup window, which says what
  it downloads and that its first load takes a few minutes.
• The first time a model such as Whisper loads on your Mac, kvoice now says
  "Optimizing for your Mac — first time only" in the setup window, Speech
  Models, the menu bar and the recorder, instead of a plain "Loading" that
  looked stuck. Later loads take seconds and say so.
• Fixed: clicking another model action while a model was loading could throw
  away minutes of first-time optimization and start it over. The load now
  always finishes; an action that has to wait says why instead of doing
  nothing.

Open the DMG and drag kvoice to Applications. This build is signed with
an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens without a
Gatekeeper warning. Grants for Accessibility and Microphone survive updates
signed with the same Developer ID. If a KVoice build signed with a different
certificate is installed, macOS treats this one as a new app once: grant
Accessibility and Microphone again when asked. The third-party notices are
inside the image.

The Mac App Store edition of the same version reaches the store separately,
after Apple's review.

KVoice 0.1.2

KVoice 0.1.2

The first build accepted for the Mac App Store; the app is otherwise the same
as 0.1.1.

• The Mac App Store package now carries everything App Store Connect checks
  for (verified with Apple's validation before release).

KVoice 0.1.0

KVoice 0.1.0

The first public version. It includes:

• Push-to-talk, toggle and hybrid dictation from a global shortcut, with a
  recorder that never takes focus from your app.
• On-device transcription with Whisper large-v3-turbo, plus Parakeet,
  Nemotron, SenseVoice and Paraformer models, and Apple Speech on macOS 26 or
  later.
• Text inserted directly into the focused app through Accessibility, with
  typed keystrokes as a fallback and the clipboard only when there is nowhere
  to insert.
• A Dictionary for names and jargon.
• Optional AI Actions (thirteen built in, editable, plus your own) through
  any OpenAI-compatible endpoint or Apple Intelligence on this Mac.
• Optional History with search, retention settings, re-transcription,
  audio-file transcription and exports.
• Shortcuts, Siri and Spotlight actions.
• English and Simplified Chinese interface.
• Two editions: a notarized direct download and a sandboxed Mac App Store
  version.
